Gifts of Publicly Traded Securities
There is a tax incentive opportunity for individuals who give publicly traded securities to charities. When you give a gift of publicly traded securities, which have increased in value over their cost, to Alberta Wilderness Association, you will eliminate the taxable capital gain that would otherwise arise. You will receive a charitable tax receipt in the amount of the fair market value of the securities donated at the time of the donation, but will not need to report a taxable capital gain on your return.
The form posted on this page is easily downloaded and provides a checklist and details for making the transfer.
Your gift will make such a difference to our wilderness legacy during your lifetime.
